Description
Tulips were introduced to the Western world by the Viennese ambassador to Turkey, who wrote about the flowers he had seen in 1551 in the Turkish Edirne. Later he sent some seeds of it to Austria. The arrival of a cargo tulip bulbs in 1562 in Antwerp marked the beginning of the European tulip cultivation. Ottoman sultans wore a tulip on their turban as a symbol. So the name tulip comes from the Persian word "target band" (دولبند) which means turban.
